CeCé Telfer’s story begins in Jamaica, where she was born in 1999 and first found her stride on the track. Her path led her to Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, where she joined the track and field program and competed in the men’s division from 2016 to 2017. Those early seasons as a student athlete laid the foundation for what would become a landmark career in American collegiate athletics.
After coming out and beginning her transition, Telfer was permitted to compete in the women’s division, and in June 2019 she made history. Racing in the 400-meter hurdles, she took first place at the NCAA championships, becoming the first openly transgender person ever to win an NCAA title. The victory placed her among the most discussed figures in collegiate sports and brought her athletic achievements to international attention.
Beyond the track, Telfer has built a public platform around her experience. She is the author of the memoir “Make It Count” and has shared her story through interviews and video conversations, including features on YouTube, addressing topics such as eligibility rules and the treatment of transgender athletes in sport. As a Jamaican-born champion and author, she continues to speak on the intersection of athletics, identity, and perseverance.
